He may have been good, but he didnt rly stand out this year.

Not many Centers do stand out unless the mess up.

Birk's level of play has really fallen off these past couple years, especially this year.
I think he was a great player, but it's possible he's run his course with the team.
Same goes for Sharper.
I wouldn't expect either to be re-signed.

Hopefully Tyrell Johnson can develop into a great player, but I'm a little more worried about our situation on the O-line.

Yeah, cause he was all out of position against the Eagles. Birk has declined alot the past few years. Time to see what Sullivan has!

You need to remember that when Johnson was starting he was filling in for Williams and not Sharper.
Of course Johnson is going to get picked on when he had to come into replace Sharper, its a different position then what he had been playing.

Call me crazy, but I'm convinced he screwed up that snap purposefully since he didn't get his contract extension.

Co-sign, that snap barely left the ground.

Anyone else notice that none of the players seem to get along with coach Childress.
Not even Birk, one of the most popular guys in and out of the locker room.
Damn, what the hell is wrong with Childress that he rubs everyone the wrong way?

Anyone remember the time Paul Allen had Childress on air and the two of the them got into it?
Childress said something about Paul only being out for awards and trying to make a name for himself.
I thought that showed how little class Childress has.

So, you know for a fact that none of the players get along with Chiller?

I wish I had your contacts.

Its a figure of speech.
Don't be a semantics nazi.
The impression Childress has made is that he is not a very easy person to get along with.
There are more examples proving this point then not.
Whether a person is a fan of his coaching or not it is commonly agreed that Childress rubs alot of people the wrong way.
Which was the whole point of my post.

I'm really looking forward to drastic changes on the line (Birk) & (Cook) & waiting yet another 3-5 years for the o-line to gel & grasp the complicated blocking scheme.

None?

I bet Anthony Herrera gets along with him fine.
JA seems to support him especially when Yutz fans boo/chant things against him during games.....

Comeon my friend.
Gotta bring something better than that.
